This was reported by the Saudi SPA news agency with reference to the country's health minister.
“Today, the keeper of the two holy mosques, King Salman bin Abdel Aziz Al Saud, received the vaccine in an effort to prevent the virus,” said the Kingdom's Health Minister, Tawfiq al-Rabia.
In late December, the Crown Prince and Defense Minister of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdel Aziz Al Saud, was inoculated from COVD-19.
Earlier it was reported that Saudi Arabia had lifted the travel ban due to the new COVID-19 strain.
